"The PP's arguments were that they do not trust Borisov. We also do not trust Borisov. I have never trusted Borisov, anyone who knows him at all knows that he has been a survivalist political player for many years and it is very difficult to agree on anything with him. And it is done with very, very strong arguments. It is precisely these strong arguments that we wanted to have at the negotiating table".
This was commented on the show „EvroDikoF“ by Ivaylo Mirchev from „Democratic Bulgaria“ for their independent negotiations with GERB.
Let's sit down together with the PP, and not be in the role of “Democratic Bulgaria“, and let them ask us who we represent, let us explain that we will bring to the table and “We continue the change“, but some politician from there says “No, they don't negotiate like that“. That's how the negotiations themselves get confused.
We had different points of view. The important thing, however, was that we looked in the same direction with them, we continue to look in the same direction with them. The important lessons from these negotiations should be like an earring, because at the beginning we experienced a lot of insinuations. “Gerbaji, sglobkaji, naives, Boyko will trick you again“ – whatever it was.
However, the realities are different – At this table, from where pictures were being shown on television, it was agreed to remove Sarafov, and it was agreed that he would not be appointed as the chief prosecutor of the Supreme Judicial Council after his term had expired. At this table, it was agreed which legal commission, which chairman. And Rosen Zhelyazkov kept his promise - to quickly sign the report so that he could enter the plenary hall. All this was agreed at this table without us making any concessions. If there is anyone dissatisfied here, it must be GERB. I am neither on their side nor defending them - the facts are as they are.
They made these commitments after our pressure and fulfilled them.
That is why Boyko Borisov says “I fulfilled their conditions, they did not come to the government“. We didn't come because he didn't fulfill everything, Mirchev is categorical.
To do this in a way that doesn't install Sarafov for 7 years - something that Peevski wanted very much. The pressure from us and the citizens led to this result, believes Ivaylo Mirchev.
